In Donkey Kong Country 3 (the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!) an arranged version of "Aquatic Ambiance" plays in the opening cutscene as well as the title screen.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, an arrangement (titled "Aquatic Ambiance Returns" in the music gallery) plays while riding the whale in Blowhole Bound.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, an arrangement (titled "Mangrove Cove Underwater" in the music menu) plays during the underwater section of Mangrove Cove. Another arrangement can be heard in the underwater section of Trunk Twister.
A third arrangement, this time sounding closer to the original arrangement and also titled "Aquatic Ambiance Returns" in the music menu, plays in the deeper underwater section of Deep Keep, the entire underwater section of Current Capers, and the entirety of Shoal Atoll.
A fourth arrangement combining this theme with "Lockjaw's Saga" from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest can be heard in the underwater sections of Irate Eight and Rockin' Relics.
A fifth arrangement plays in the underwater sections of Panicky Paddles.
